As requested, a thread for general snarking that may not need its own post.
Nit picky perhaps, but this Twister persona is annoying AF. Maybe because my area just got a record number of tornados. 10 simultaneously. including the metro area (which is suuuper rare). I’m from the Midwest so I’m used to summer storms, but this was terrifying. My kids didn’t sleep for 2 days. They ate traumatizing. People lose everything, including their lives.
I get the movie just came out but I think it’s meant to teach respect for the power of nature and maybe show the reality of tornados to people who may not experience them. I hope it’s also a commentary on global warming (something she probably doesn’t consider or even think about). Summer just started here and the tornados are expected to get worse. If you have never heard sirens or the roar of the winds, consider yourself lucky!
Your feelings are valid. She is annoying AF. Standing in her sister’s backyard staring up at the clouds on this beautiful summer day as if she has any real risk of a Tornado. The odds of her ever having to worry about a Tornado are in reality, slim to none. It’s the Sarah show though! Everything needs to be about her.
She’s so annoying lol and I see it’s a new hyperfixation for her. I was lucky all we suffered was a blown out window and damaged patio furniture, but like I said in another comment, it was unprecedented what happened. We have had tornados 20 mi away and have had close calls where the sirens go off, but we had F-0s downtown. That does NOT happen. I think the city proper got 10 and the metro area had 25. At the same time!! It’s not just a movie. And it’s just getting worse.
She’s always so out of touch with reality. If she experienced a tornado herself she’d play the biggest victim on planet earth.
Like doing a little video of pretend looking for a tornado just to post to Instagram? She’s stupid and it isn’t a joke. She’s lucky she doesn’t REALLY have a tornado to be on the look out for.
We have been very lucky and they are usually about 20 mi away but the city got hit this time with an f-0 which is unheard of. Downtown DOES NOT GET TORNADOS. I think the scariest part is that you get a watch so like “conditions are right for a tornado, just fyi” and you don’t get the actual warning until a funnel cloud or rotation is spotted. The sirens start going off and you watch the radar like a hawk to see where and how fast it’s going. They can happen so fast sometimes you barely get the warning and your cell phone starts making ungodly sounds for the emergency broadcast system. But cool, the actor is single lol all I can do is laugh.
I’m sorry this has happened to you. You’re not in the wrong for calling this out. People going through trauma from natural disasters don’t appreciate these types of movies, just like SA victims don’t like hearing that consent is annoying. This is why it’s important for content creators to give content warnings for serious issues (like natural disasters, discussing homicide etc) if they care about their followers.
Thank you. I haven’t seen the movie, but I do hope the message is climate change or something along those lines. The storms have been getting worse and worse. The city never got tornados, and we had F-0s downtown. Usually, they were like 20 mi away so enough for storms and winds but never like this. They are saying the frequency will go up as well as the intensity. It’s terrifying. Not just because of the risk of harm but the financial costs. We can’t all replace our roofs at the drop of a hat or get a gifted car if a tree falls on it.
I’m sorry you went through this. The city where I live has been hit by a few tornadoes in recent years for the first time and it’s unsettling
